Where Libertarians Go Wrong on Immigration

Libertarians and conservatives agree on many issues and are allies in
the fight against statism. But there are several areas where they
disagree quite vehemently. One of them is immigration.

The libertarian refrain goes something like this: Isn’t a policy of
“open borders” the only approach consistent with freedom and individual
rights? Besides, policing the borders and restricting immigration
requires still another government bureaucracy. And for pete’s sake, we
have enough of those already.

The conservative
answers that capturing criminals, defending the nation, and engaging in
foreign relations require bureaucracies also. But they are necessary
bureaucracies. Immigration policy is no different. It is a legitimate
function of our government – to defend the borders and preserve the
freedom and order of society.
The question is not, should we as a nation allow for “open borders,”
or endeavor to “close down our borders.” The question is: what level of
immigration is conducive to preserving the American culture of ordered liberty?
Closed borders (permanently) would asphyxiate us; open borders would
balkanize us. Ever since the 1965 Immigration Act, we have been
hell-bent to balkanize ourselves. With the stratospheric rise in illegal
immigration over the past 30 years, the balkanization process is now
firmly imbedded in our culture and spreading its ruin at an accelerating
pace.

Yes, America has always been a nation of immigrants. But never has she been a nation of unrestricted
immigration. From the beginning of their formation of America into a
nation, the Founders were acutely aware of the need to lay down rules
for entrance into the country and the acquiring of citizenship.

The Founders’ View
The Founders realized that the eternal verities such as our basic
individual rights do not change from the past to the future, but
immigration rules are not eternal verities; and basically they have
nothing to do with the issue of individual rights. They are matters of
public policy that will always be subject to both quantitative and
qualitative revision with the passage of time.

In other words, entrance into a country is not a “right.” It is a
“privilege” granted by the citizens of the country involved. If those
citizens decide their country would be better off with a small,
selective stream of immigrants instead of a large and indiscriminate
stream, then it is their right to bring about such a border policy.
There is no such thing as a right to enter any country one chooses, no
more than there is a right to trespass on the personal property of one’s
neighbor, or enter his house uninvited.

As the Supreme Court rightly ruled in the latter 19th century, “It is
an accepted maxim of international law, that every sovereign nation has
the power, as inherent in sovereignty, and essential to
self-preservation, to forbid the entrance of foreigners within its
dominions, or to admit them only in such cases and upon such conditions
as it may see fit to prescribe.” [Nishimura Ekiu v. U.S., 142 U.S. 651,
659 (1892).]
The Founders certainly agreed with this. George Washington told his
contemporaries that, “The bosom of America is open to receive not only
the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and
persecuted…if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit
the enjoyment.” [Writings of George Washington, Government Printing Office, 1931-44, 27:254.]

Political philosopher, Thomas G. West, points out that “Washington’s
openness to common citizenship with those who were neither Protestants
nor descended from Englishmen did not…lead him to favor unlimited
immigration. He believed that immigrants of the wrong sort and in the
wrong quantity would endanger American liberty….

“Whenever he discussed immigration, Washington linked his ‘liberal’
vision of multinational and multireligious America with a ‘conservative’
concern about the character of those who would become Americans.” [Vindicating the Founders,1997, pp. 150-151.]

Jefferson also covered the issue of immigrant quality in Notes on the State of Virginia.
He felt strongly that there are certain “regime principles” that need
to be thoroughly grasped and ingrained into one’s character, such as
natural reason, inalienable rights, equality of rights, the virtues of
self-reliance, independence, self-government, etc., which will make one
into a citizen who favors liberty. Without a thorough grasp of
these principles and the presence of these virtues in one’s character,
the result will be disintegration of the special uniqueness of America
as a nation. [Erler, West, and Marini, The Founders on Citizenship and Immigration, 2007, pp. 19-22.]

So the Founders were obviously very cognizant of the special “way of
life” upon which their new nation was structured. They readily grasped
that no country can ever afford totally open borders. There are always
undesirables that must be excluded from entrance to a country. And even
“desirables” must be allowed in sparingly.

Since the same principles and concerns that built America are needed
to sustain her, we in the modern day too must be concerned with both the
quality and the quantity of immigrants that enter the
country. With the world’s and the country’s populations increasing
relentlessly, America hardly needs to be adding millions of newcomers
from outside our borders. Our population is growing steadily on its own.
Thus if our nation can be said to possess a culture or a certain “way
of life,” then any immigration policy we adopt must be geared toward
preserving that way of life. Reason demonstrates quite clearly that
unlimited, indiscriminate immigration is a dire threat to our way of
life.

The Libertarian Flaw: Bad Ideology
Unfortunately libertarians cannot properly confront this dire threat
because the great bulk of them believe in “open borders” for all
nations. They don’t believe in the nation state concept as it has
evolved over the centuries. They want to form a borderless world where
all humans are allowed to migrate wherever they wish. The
anarcho-capitalist libertarians want to do away with all government
itself. Thus in any public debate over illegal immigration, libertarians
self-destruct in the public’s eyes. They come off as blind utopians
divorced from reality who would destroy America and her political
principle of “federalism,” which is the only way to make freedom work in
the real world. I discuss this problem of libertarianism extensively in
my book, The Golden Mean: Libertarian Politics, Conservative Values.

There will never be a world without nations because there will never
be a world without human nature, which is very concerned with ethnicity.
It is born into us. To try and legislate humans into apathy about
ethnicity is like trying to breed tigers into turtles. Reality does not
allow such nonsense. Ethnic solidarity is one of the major reasons why
nations come into being. Humans wish to gather among their own ethnic
kind.
Robert J. Samuelson writes in the Washington Post, “People
prefer to be with people like themselves. For all the celebration of
‘diversity,’ it’s sameness that dominates. Most people favor friendship
with those who have similar backgrounds, interests and values. It makes
for more shared experiences, easier conversations, and more comfortable
silences. Despite many exceptions, the urge is nearly universal. It’s
human nature.” [August 6, 2008.]

Even America, a country formed upon ideological principles, was still
largely shaped by ethnic European origins. Patrick Buchanan, writes
brilliantly about this in Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025.
Chapter 7, “The Diversity Cult,” is a blistering demolition of
multiculturalism and the primitive incomprehensibilities with which it
is saturating the American mind.

This, of course, doesn’t mean that a nation must be all one ethnic
group. But it must remain primarily its original (or dominant) ethnic
group. Multiculturalism was one of the primary reasons for the fall of
Rome. It has wreaked savagery and chaotic cruelty throughout the modern
day Balkan States. It is lethal to the maintenance of a free and stable
society. This is why conservatives espouse “ordered freedom.” Freedom
cannot exist devoid of tradition and slow, minimal immigration.

Byron M. Roth, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Dowling College,
says multiculturalism “denies historical and scientific evidence that
people differ in important biolgical and cultural ways that makes their
assimilation into host countries problematic. It is also extreme in the
viciousness with which it attacks those who differ on this issue. These
attacks are accompanied by….claims that a collective guilt should be
assumed by all Europeans (whites) for the sins of their forebears.” [The Perils of Diversity, Washington Summit Publishers, 2010, p. 594.]

Revered political scientist, Samuel P. Huntington, criticized multiculturalism heavily in his 1996 book, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Even the liberal, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., criticized the concept of multiculturalism in The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society.

Patrick Buchanan writes, “We are attempting to convert a republic,
European and Christian in its origins and character, into an egalitarian
democracy of all the races, religions, cultures and tribes of planet
Earth. We are turning America into a gargantuan replica of the U.N.
General Assembly, a continental conclave of the most disparate and
diverse peoples in all of history, who will have no common faith, no
common moral code, no common language and no common culture. What, then,
will hold us together?” [World Net Daily, November 7, 2011.]

Libertarians need to reread Friedrich Hayek and his emphasis on
tradition as a filter for the evolution of a free and rational society.
They need to abandon the disastrous approach of pure libertarianism that
the anarchists and moral neutralists have dumped into their brains.
They need to examine the Founders’ ideas on immigration. As we saw in
the above, immigration is not a “natural right.” It is a “privilege”
granted by the citizens of the country involved.

Tossing Freedom in the Trash
The first step toward getting on the right side of this polarizing
controversy is to grasp that all nations possess cultures that are
delicate sociological balances of long-standing traditions, mores, and
metaphysical views. In nations that lean toward freedom, their cultures
are especially dependent upon these balances not being upset in a sudden
and irresponsible fashion. Freedom is like an orchid. It is fragile and
prone to being tossed in the trash by obtuse mobocracies that have not
been taught to value it.

The illegals streaming into our country today have no grasp as to
what freedom and its requisites are. To make matters worse, many of them
are brazenly anti-American with an arrogant sense of entitlement
already built into their personalities. They are bringing with them the
political and cultural assumptions of their country of origin. And those
assumptions are that the state is meant to take care of them. Unlike
earlier America, we now have a state that will cater to those
assumptions. This is the flaw in the rationale of open border advocates.
The quality of immigrants that flows to a welfare state country
will not be the same as that which flows to a laissez-faire country. For this reason alone, any influx of immigrants to our nation must be severely restricted.

But as the Founders knew, even in a laissez-faire country immigration
must always be restricted. Today’s unbridled welfare state merely makes
restriction all the more mandatory. In fact it makes restriction a
matter of national survival.

The flippant libertarian retort to this dilemma, that “all we need to
do then is just get rid of the welfare state,” is naïve and
irresponsible. Open borders is not a rational policy even for a free,
laissez-faire country. Moreover, the welfare state will require 50-100
years to phase out. If present immigration trends continue, in a
half-century Mexicans and Central Americans (and their socialist
assumptions) will have overrun the entire southwest and much of the
midwest. They will be the majority voting block in the country. Thus all
libertarians do with their flippant advocacy is confuse the populace,
which allows collectivist bureaucrats and corporatists to continue
bringing in larger and larger swarms of illegals. Rationality is needed
here, not flippancy.

Here lies our danger. Because of Republican greed for cheap labor and
Democratic greed for new party members, Washington is opening up the
nation’s doors to millions of legal and illegal immigrants from Third
World cultures who have no respect for Jefferson’s “regime principles”
of individualism, self-reliance, and equal rights under the law. To
compound the problem, our welfare state schools are teaching all today’s
immigrants the precise opposite of these Jeffersonian principles.

The vision of America launched by the Founding Fathers is flagrantly
smeared throughout our schools today. Our textbooks openly denigrate the
Founders as “aristocrats” and “elitists,” and depict Western
civilization and capitalism as evil, exploitative, racist, and criminal.
Our professors teach that the country must be transformed into a
collectivist society. Success, security, and health are no longer
personal responsibilities; they are to be granted to us by the
all-powerful State via massive redistribution of earnings.

It therefore comes as no surprise that millions of immigrants now
swarming into America view themselves as rightful recipients of an
ever-increasing array of privileges, quotas, subsidies, and handouts.
Incredibly this view extends even to the illegals.

The Demopublicans’ Default
Naturally establishment politicians have constructed appropriate spin
to avoid facing this pink elephant that sits in their ideological
living room stinking up the future of our country. But none of the
objections from the liberal multiculturalists and the conservative
corporatists hold water in face of what should be our ultimate concern –
the preservation of a sovereign America with our distinctly American
culture of ordered freedom under the dictates of objective law.

Our solons on the Potomac are selling out our birthright to the
globalists in pursuit of regional government and the end of American
sovereignty. It is the most craven and short-sighted sell out in our
history. Both Republicans and Democrats are obsessed with the illusions
of multiculturalism. Both are poisoned with altruistic guilt concerning
the poverty of the Third World. Both are blind to the balkanization
morass into which they are driving America.

Despicable indeed. But a nation gets the politicians it deserves, and
we have reaped an assortment of quislings that now slither around in
the most fetid of Machiavellian muck.
Our stand as patriots must be a restoration of the pre-1965
immigration accords and a return to a far more selective process in the
qualitative requisites needed to enter the country. In addition, we must
steadfastly insist on legislation that 1) mandates English as the
official language of America, 2) closes the anchor baby loophole, 3)
denies welfare services to illegals, 4) enacts E-Verify, and 5)
prosecutes the present laws on the books about hiring illegals.

Will E-Verify threaten us with a national ID? No more than we already
have with our Social Security number. E-Verify merely opens up the data
base to all private employers so they can easily verify an applicant’s
citizenship.

The above five policies remove the attractiveness of illegally
entering the country. If we do not remove the lures that bring the
illegals here, they will continue coming. For soft and squeamish
Americans, such policies will seem cruel. For tough minded patriots,
they are just and necessary if we are to save the country.
Libertarians among the freedom movement will have to reexamine their
policy of “open borders.” It is not a policy that any rational American
can afford to adopt. The Founders’ wisdom and the vast experience of
mankind over the millennia must become the basis of our policy again on
the vital issue of immigration.

Today in Olympia, 50 concerned citizens just like you are in Olympia taking part in Olympia 101 learning how to "Maximize the March for Life." As they make the transition from demonstrators to advocates, they will learn to leaders people form the steps of the Capital into the offices of those who represent us, where the change really happens.

Tomorrow, 50 pastors from all over Washington State will come to Olympia to participate in Olympia 101 for Pastors and church leaders. These pastors will develop a better understanding of how to serve those who serve in the public square and discuss how they can equip those in their churches to stand for truth in the public square.

These two days of training are just a small sample of the progress being made every day.

Bob Powell, former Marine and journalist for “The Truth Is Viral”, interviews a trucker who claims that 100 UN marked MRAPS were deployed in Michigan.

Watch this video and take it for what you want.

A call has come out from a person calling himself Truth Is Viral. Traveling at night, on off roads, in the cover of darkness, he comes with a video of 100 UN Marked MRAPS on Deploy to Camp Grayling, Michigan. Meanwhile FEMA is preparing at great links for Civil Unrest.

What is causing this mass unrest they are preparing for could be a number of different things. One major factor that could cause mass panic are reports like the one we at freepatriot.org brought you of the Federal Government cutting off EBT out of spite for the fowl ups in the operating systems, caused by the President Obama Cabinet pulling the plug on the system during the shutdown. This would mean that thousands of people in the lower poverty level states to be without needed food and supplies. Not counting the list of the ones that don’t work that can, an estimated 8 million, and the illegal aliens that get WIC, EBT, HUD Housing and other support due to children born in the US, there are literally millions of disabled Americans that would be without resources. Would that not be enough to cause this?

There are also rumors of the UN moving in due to the treaty for small arms and a report that President Obama is once again thinking of Executive Order to once again circumvent the Second Amendment. Recently a a Navy Seal came forward, who not only confirmed self outed ex-CIA member Dr. Jim Garrow on the litmus test, that the second question asked is if you would disarm American Citizens. Over 51 Senators voted to oppose the UN treaty saying that it would kill the Second Amendment and sent a letter to President Obama calling him just shy of violating Article 3 of the Constitution. If the Federal Government does not think this would cause a riot of mass proportions and deadly violence they obviously have not been paying attention to their own State Ran Media.

Then you have the entire Obamacare fiasco. We have people telling Town Hall meetings that DHS is building an army and asking “is everybody blind!” Several factors could cause the riots that they are seeking, it is more become making the public aware so they don’t fall for the trap.

Meanwhile, the DHS equivalent of tanks with UN stickers move in position under our noses. You can watch the video here:

"Members
of Congress
are servants of the people, not a ruling class separate and distinct
from the people," says Rep. DeSantis. "Congress cannot be allowed to
impose burdens on the American people while relieving its own members of
those burdens. A twenty-eighth amendment is needed to hold Congress
accountable and to restore principles of proper constitutional
government."

Rep. Salmon argues, "A government of the
people, by the people, for the people should live under the same rules it passes for the people."

Senator Rand Paul agrees.
Just last week he introduced S.J. Res.
25 "proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States
relative to applying laws equally to the citizens of the United States
and
the Federal Government."

This said, we need to tell every lawmaker to join in with Desantis, Salmon, and Paul and run with the
idea of a Constitutional amendment to subject government to its own laws!

It's only natural that the government should live under its own laws - such is the American Way.

Our founders based the Constitution upon natural law or "the law of Nature and Nature's God." Natural law says that there is
one law to govern all, not one law for the People and a separate law for those in government.

Is this not still true
today?

We need to rally our lawmakers to amend the Constitution to declare "Congress shall make no law" applicable
to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to those in government!

The Constitution was last amended in 1992 -
let's see that it is amended again!

I posted a deal the other day about precious metals and a
company called Karatbars International.I have received some inquiries about it wanting to know if this is a
real deal.Well, let me give you some of
my history on this.I retired from my
secular job in 2006. I consolidated my retirement investments and have a good
relationship with, Tom, my Financial Planner.About 3 years after I retired, there was that big crash that took place
in the fall of 2009.Remember?I was in Kauai when
that happened and I took a major hit as most people did.When I got home from Kauai,
Tom and I did some revamping of my portfolio.I have been upset with what the powers that be have done to our economy
ever since then.

Along the way, I heard about KBGold (Karatbars) and
registered (free) with the company.I
did not buy anything and did very little promoting of the company as a free
affiliate.That was probably about 3
years ago.The economic picture
continues to worsen but Karatbars has proven itself to me.My KB sponsor, Twanzell Williams, was patient
with me all this time and contacted me last month about how things are
exploding in this industry and his excitement (along with the gloom and doom of
the news) persuaded me to re-engage with KB. There is a 3 Minute Call you may
hear By Dialing 218-844-3182. The Access Code is 3010
8646.Better yet, if you can set aside
30 minutes, Twanzell did an excellent presentation of the basics about
Karatbars on a recorded call with an investment group that you can hear
here:http://www.allowustoexplain.com/

There are several different ways to generate income with
this company.They make it as simple as
one, two, & three.Once you are
comfortable with them, you will want to participate in one of their (two
daily) webinars on how to work the 12 week affiliate plan.More on that later if, you are honestly
interested.

October 28, 2013 – The precious metals markets are
on the move, responding mainly to new weakness in the U.S. dollar.

After two years of surprising strength, the dollar index, which compares the
dollar to other paper currencies, closed below key support at 80 for the second
consecutive week. The outlook for the greenback now looks grim – both
from a technical point of view as well as fundamentally. A break below 79 could
result in fireworks.

Investors are now expecting Federal Reserve officials at Wednesday's FOMC meeting
to table all serious talk of scaling back monetary stimulus – opting instead
to continue creating $85 billion in new bank reserves each month, and possibly
print money at an even faster clip at some point soon.

After all, Chicago Fed Governor Charles Evans just admitted publicly on CNBC that
there is NO LIMIT to how much money creation could take place. "We can go as long
as necessary," he concluded.

The reason investors suspect the Fed is throwing in the towel on its "taper" talk
is because we've seen some lousy economic data as well as the official nomination
of a major stimulus supporter – Berkeley leftist Janet Yellen – to
replace Ben Bernanke as Fed Chair in January.

The bullion markets have quietly moved up over the past few days, but bullishness
among the public has not yet taken hold. Some prospective buyers may be waiting
to see if last week's gains will be sustained.

Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom.

Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?' The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, "Land Mines."

Moral of the story: no matter what language you speak or where you go, behind every man there's a smart woman.

Bridwell does a good job of bringing a modern rending of past expressions. The Federalist Papers were a series of articles published in Colonial America’s Newspapers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, under the pen name of Publius, to argue for support of the proposed product of the original Constitutional Convention. Bridwell uses Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language instead of 2013 definitions of the founder’s words. This avoids the danger of historical revisionism and insures that we can know the intentions of our founders and better understand the sacrifices they made for us. When Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention, some one asked him, “What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin?” He answered, “We have given you a republic, if you can keep it.” Publius makes strong and reasonable arguments for the Union of the States rather than a mere confederacy. He shows the superiority of a republican form of government over all other forms and addresses the checks and balances of the three main branches of our Federal Government and the relationship of the Federal Powers to the State’s Rights. In dealing with factionalism among the States and the demand by some for a perfect document, Publius expressed some frustration on page 275 saying, “Where do we find perfection?” I think the author, Rick, answered this question when he signed my copy of this book, “For Pastor Larry Killion, Only Christ is perfect government – Rick B.”

URGENT
ALERT: THIS WEEK illegal immigration activists funded by none other
than REPUBLICAN mega-donor Paul Singer AND Obama bankroller George Soros
in a "bipartisan" AMNESTY alliance are turning up the heat!

They are DETERMINED to force Congress to PASS AMNESTY, AKA "comprehensive immigration reform" by the New Year!

Their
specific targets include: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority
Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and 26
other House Republicans representing districts with a considerable
number of minorities…

They are even staging acts of "civil disobedience" – well
known to us as the pity party of MORE PHONY ARRESTS – in their
endeavors to FORCE Amnesty on America!

With
the help of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's New American Economy,
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us group, they
hope well orchestrated AMNESTY activism and TONS of political theater
carried by an obliging mainstream media will get the job done!

We
MUST take swift action NOW and PUSH BACK against the status quo
corporate interests colluding with the socialist Democrats to SELL OUT
our own American workers. MAKE OUR VOICES LOUD and STRONG – TELL
CONGRESS TO SECURE OUR BORDERS AND PUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST!

The
House GOP is reportedly ALREADY planning to go to conference with the
Harry Reid Senate where border security provisions can be crushed and
amnesty and foreign visas expanded – just as Nancy Pelosi has been
maneuvering for all along!

Remember, 90,609,000 Americans are NOT in the labor force, another "record" for the Obama administration. This means that there are currently 9 million more Americans no longer working or looking for work since Obama became "president."

Amnesty
plans in the works would bring in 33 million foreign workers WHILE
giving green cards and our jobs to the 12 million+ (who really knows how
many?!) illegal immigrants already here!

That's
not to mention the number of American citizens UNEMPLOYED (implausibly
estimated by Obama's BLS at an ever-constant 7.9% or 11.3 million) or
the UNDEREMPLOYED (ObamaCare part-timers, line up here) actively LOOKING
for work instead of resigning themselves to Obama's socialist dole…

On
Monday, October 28, American citizens sick-and-tired of having our
concerns put second to those of ILLEGAL ALIENS will be flooding the
phone lines of Congress – regardless of party affiliation – demanding
secure borders and the rule of law.

Help us send the message: NO "COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM"! NO AMNESTY SELL OUT!

While
grassroots, Facebook-mobilized working Americans participate in a
advocacy "March on Washington Against the Illegal Alien Invasion" day
next Monday, WE need to do our part and push back against GOP betrayal
NOW!

YOU can help by blast-faxing your petition for border security to our elected officials NOW AND EVERYDAY THIS WEEK.

Make them take notice on Capitol Hill, and we will PILE IT ON while the phone lines are jammed on Monday, Oct. 28!

STARTING TODAY we MUST demand of Peter King and the GOP 'Moderates' like House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte:

Secure Borders Coalition is a project of Americans United for Freedom,
a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization (pending) which focuses on nonpartisan
civic education and advocacy regarding important national issues.

Obama
appears to be staging a coup d'état against the US from within the military by replacing honorable, patriotic generals with his own
hand-picked rainbow officers.

In
addition to the more than 20 senior officers discussed yesterday, two
very important military leaders - an Army General and a Navy Rear
Admiral - were fired for disobeying Obama's orders in the Benghazi
debacle. We refer to these to patriots as the "Benghazi boyz" to match
the parlance of the White House today.

The
"Benghazi boyz" wanted to launch a rescue mission to save our embassy
personnel from being murdered by Obama's Muslim Brotherhood compadres.

NOTE: Why do we call the islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood the compadres of
Obama? Remember the sequestration? Obama stopped the White House
tours to save money... while he was sending hundreds of millions in cold
hard cash to the Muslim Brotherhood running Egypt at that time. The
murderous rein of the Muslim Brotherhood - where no dissent was
tolerated and Chrisitans were slaughtered by the hundreds - so revolted
the Egyptian people they revolted en masse and overthrew it, outlawed
the Muslim Brotherhood, confiscated its property and put the leadership
in prison. Just before the overthrow took place, Obama sent another couple hundred million to these Muslim murderers. We in America should
do the same thing to our Muslim Brotherhood White House leadership that
Egypt did.

Now, back to our issue: Obama sacked both of the Benghazi boyz for trying to do the right thing.

It
is obvious that Obama doesn't want honorable men commanding military
units. He wants jack-booted thugs who are willing to kick in our doors,
aim machine guns at us and search our houses, just like he did to the
citizens of Boston after the marathon bombing.

He
wants officers who are willing to snuff out American lives on his
orders, not officers who are willing to come a fellow American's aid in
times of crisis.

We have to begin undoing the damage that Obama has done to our military and that starts today.The Benghazi boyz need to be reinstated!

Obama
thinks that you and I are stupid and that we don't see through his
transparent actions. We can start to unravel his plans by demanding that
Congress give these men back their jobs.

While Obama may be the commander-in-chief, he is not the dictator-in-chief.

The
two men we are referring to as the Benghazi boyz are Major General Carter Ham, the US head of Africa Command (AfriCom), and Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette, commander of the USS John C. Stennis strike group.

Here is what the Washington Times reported on October 29, 2012 regarding the events during the Benghazi attack:

"General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready."

"General
Ham then received the order to stand down [from Obama]. His response
was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a
minute after making the move to respond, his second in command
apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his
command."

Admiral Gaouette reportedly backed Ham's decision, so both of them were fired.

Obama won't allow any dissenters in what he now refers to as "his" military in speeches.

So
now, Obama's decision to leave Americans fighting for their lives
against Muslim Brotherhood symps means we have a gutless military that
will follow this coward-in-chief.

These
men did the honorable thing, which they had been trained to do. They
tried to save lives when Americans were being threatened by Imam Obama's
associates in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Distinctive Doctrine

Distinctive Doctrine is my fourth book to be published as a self-published print on demand edition. It deals with a topic that is a passion of mine. After salvation in Christ, the next important thing in a believer's life should be finding a true New Testament local congregation in which to serve the Lord. How do you know which one is the right one? It is simple. Take a look at the doctrine and practice of the churches of the New Testament and look for one that has the same landmarks. Having been a Pastor of a fundamental sovereign grace independent landmark Baptist Church for over 35 years, naturally I write from that position. I hope many readers take many blessings from the reading of this latest effort.

The Obedience of a Christian Man

Most folks know of William Tyndale as the man who translated the first English Bible, which - with certain royal guidelines, was used to transcribe the 1611 edition authorized by King James. The “Obedience of a Christian Man” was a primer on Christian living that was used to spark what is called the English Reformation. It is a practical book on how we are to live as believers. Children are to obey their parents, servants are to obey their masters and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved His Congregation. The wife is to be in subjection to her own husband as the Congregation is to Christ, and the King is to rule in God’s stead over the realm according to the Law of God, not after his own imagination. Tyndale wrote in the days when the “divine right of the King” was the mindset. The idea of Natural Law (which agrees with scripture) is the best rule for the commonwealth of society was only beginning to develop. In America, since 1776, the so-called “divine right of the King” belongs to WE THE PEOPLE. Tyndale taught that if the secular rulers command us to do evil, we are to disobey saying we are commanded otherwise of God. He also exposed the hypocrisy and wickedness of the powerful religious institution in control at that time and how the leaders of that hierarchy set aside the holy scripture for their lies and man made traditions.

One Vote

I have liked Dr. Ben Carson from the very first time I heard him speak at the Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. When he criticized the "Affordable Care Act" with Mr. Obama sitting only a few seats away from him, I thought to myself, this Dr. is a true patriot. The more I heard of him the more I liked him. When Americans all across the country started "clamoring" RUN BEN RUN, I joined in with them. His autobiography GIFTED HANDS is a must read (you should at least rent the movie). ONE VOTE is a very practical book with a lot of info in it. You can get a free copy of it in the form of an e-book. I was thrilled to hear the Dr. announce his candidacy in the 2016 race for the White House. If he only gets 17% of the "black vote" he cannot lose. He is my choice and he has my ONE VOTE.

Gifted Hands

This book is the Ben Carson Story, an autobiography. I first learned about Dr. Carson after hearing his remarks at a national prayer breakfast in Washington D.C. in which he warned about the dangers and complications that would come from the passing of the Affordable Care Act commonly called Obama Care. For a while after that prayer breakfast speech Dr. Carson attracted a lot of media attention for his bold remarks in the presence of President Obama. The more questions he answered in interviews the more conservative patriots in America liked what they heard and many asked the question, would you consider running for President in 2016? Dr. Carson responded that he had no desire to do that but if there was a clamoring by the voters for him to do it; he would have to consider it. Soon there was a movement called “Run Ben Run” to show the good Doctor there was indeed a clamoring for him to run. This book also is a movie and is available on DVD. The book however goes into much more detail about events in Ben’s life. Ben was raised in poverty. His mother, a single parent in Detroit, Michigan having only a 3rd grade education, brought him and his brother Curtis up to be an outstanding Engineer and a world renowned Pediatric Neurosurgeon. Dr. Carson is most well known for putting a surgical team together from Johns Hopkins Hospital to successfully separate Patrick and Benjamin Binder, Siamese twins joined at the head in 1987. The book tells of several other surgeries and because they all deal with children in hopeless condition, it is quite an emotional read. After reading Gifted Hands, I am convinced that Dr. Carson is what we need in the White House, to turn America back onto the right path again. When I say that, the first objection usually offered is, “He has no political experience.” My answer to that is, “That is precisely why I like him. It is the professional politicians that have gotten us into the mess we are in today and someone like Ben Carson would be a breath of fresh air.” The bean counters in the “Run Ben Run” campaign have crunched the numbers and determined that if Ben runs for President in 2016 and only gets 17% of the “black vote” he cannot lose.

Life of Washington

Here is 295 pages, including appendixes, of historic biography that is not butchered by modern day secular revisionists. It was originally published in 1842 by the American Sunday School Union and is filled with quotes directly from the very journals of Washington and anecdotes given by eyewitness accounts of events in the life of the father of our nation. If there is one book that gives a true and honest account of the life of Washington, this is it. This volume has tenderness about it even though it is set in very troublesome times. There is often insight as to how the patriotic women of the revolutionary days helped behind the scenes and the relationship between Washington and his revered mother is an aspect of the story that is thoughtfully penned. The story of the treason of Benedict Arnold showed in particular how the providence of God prevented that chapter from being much more harmful to the Colonists than it was at the time. The modern political correct crowd will literally freak out when they read how easy it is to write the truth about the Christian influence in the lives of American founding fathers like General George Washington.

I have the hard copy of Grudem's book discussed here. It is available now in electronic format. Heard about it at a local non-partisan political activist meetup group I've been involved with. Bought it on the cheap through Alibris. Took it with me to a conference on "Understanding the Times" back in May of 2011 sponsored by Family Research Council and Watchmen on the Wall. Grudem was one of the speakers. Got him to sign my copy. :) I think it is well outlined and a great reference. I think the first chapter is worth the Kindle $4.99 price. It comes from a biblical world view and is therefore more conservative than liberal on several points. The only negative reviews I've seen are from obvious leftists who scoffed at the biblical references and call it a mere Republican 101 Primer. ”

American Politics

I met the author at a local non-partisan politically active meet-up group. We had a lot in common and when I heard he had written this book I grabbed it. Roy is an active duty Army Chaplain and worked on this book while deployed in Afghanistan. The book begins with some dated references to the Presidential campaign of 2012 but has some valid points that lead to the conclusion. Many American conservatives find it incredible that at this late date our country seems blind to the move toward a totalitarian form of government in what was the land of the free. Using scripture and un-rewritten U.S. history, Roy makes the case that God is not a Socialist and approves of a republican form of government. He shows how our founding fathers were God-fearing men who saw the providence of God at work in the establishment of America. The last chapters reveal a domino affect leading to a “last resort” which we are rapidly approaching. This is a passionate and patriotic call to action. When he signed my book, Roy said, “Our freedom wasn’t free. We can either vote or fight to keep it. I’d rather vote.”

If It Is'nt Close, They Can't Cheat.

“First of all, this book is dated because it was written in the heat of the 2004 United States Election. But it has some very good information in it, none the less. You should read it for the sake of knowing the basics of modern day politics in America. The basic difference between a D and a R is this: one will get us killed and the other wants to kill those that are trying to kill us. The Culture of Corruption is blatant in D.C. but it is particularly championed by the party thatproclaimed in 2000 that they will do ANYTHING to win. The people have an uphill battle keeping good officials in office when our elections are unfairly tallied due to rigged ballot boxes and intimidation at the poles by leftist thugs, big labor, Community activist organizations, misleading left of center main stream media polls and the likes. Look where the six main political persuasions fall in the two main parties: three in one and three in the other. See them lined up side by side to get the big picture of modern politics.”

BIAS by Bernard Goldberg

Bernie states the obvious in this book. The book is ten years old and although the truth of it is generally seen in all quarters, even today it is still ignored or denied by Bernie’s old friends in the main stream media. Goldberg himself confesses that he has been a lifetime voter on the left side of the ticket. As a journalist however, he is willing to speak out regarding the fact that a liberal bias is the mindset of most of our media elite. He tried many times to show the need for a less slanted view of the news from within the machinery of CBS but finally resorted to writing and editorial article on the subject in the Wall Street Journal. His career at CBS was doomed. They blackballed him right away. Then dabbled with him for a while and finally let him retire with his pension. I highly recommend this book not because of the obvious truth of it but that we may better understand why the elite of the media continue as they do. They honestly do not think that they are leftists. To understand that statement, you must read the explanation in the words of a career liberal journalist who only wants people to face the facts.

Common Sense, The Rights of Man

Common Sense, Rights of Man. and other essential writings of Thomas Paine.Signet Classics 200th Anniversary Edition.

378 pages of very enlightened and inspiring words. Paine was friends with Ben Franklin and other great men of that era. Even Edmond Burke in England was a friend of Paine until 1790 and their debate on the French Revolution. Common Sense was originally published in pamphlet form and was used greatly to inspire the American Colonialists to sever ties with England. The Crisis begins with the famous quote, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” It was read by George Washington, and the American soldiers, by order of the General, to help bolster moral in some of the dark days of the revolution. The Rights of Man was the lengthiest piece in the book and was a defense of the French Revolution against remarks made by Edmund Burke in England. The Age of Reason was the most discouraging piece in the book for me as Paine acclaims his deism, and although raised as a Quaker, his skepticism becomes overbearing.

The Anti-Federalist Papers

Here is 406 pages about some of the most important events in the history of America. The decade of 1770 – 1780 was a crucial time. After the Revolutionary War and the break from Briton, most modern Americans do not realize how much thought, discussion and debate occurred in the establishment of the founding documents of the Constitution. After the Declaration of Independence and the Colonial Rebellion, a Constitutional Convention was held by our founding fathers to draft the founding documents of our nation in 1787. Until that time, our national politics was based on the Articles of Confederation 1777. A copy of this document is in the appendix of this book. The draft of the Constitution that came out of the convention was the result of great debate and that was only the beginning. Some of our founders saw the need for a stronger central government. They were called Federalists. Their arguments in favor of the immediate ratification of the draft presented by the Constitutional Convention are found in The Federalist Papers. These are articles written and published in newspapers and sometimes in pamphlets for the citizens to read. Not having radio & television this is how we learned about the political issues in those days. In answer to the Federalist articles, there were the Anti-Federalists who also wrote responses called the Anti-Federalist Papers against the immediate ratification of the Constitution voicing concern of the loss of liberty to a government that might turn into what we fought to free ourselves from in the revolution. Federalists like Alexander Hamilton wrote articles under the pen name Publius and Anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry wrote under other names like Brutus. Although the Anti-Federalists lost the debate, we have them to thank for the Bill of Rights being added as amendments our Constitution.

Original Intent

This is a very important book for people of faith to read regarding what has happened to the religious climate of public modern America. Unbelieving haters of biblical standards have taken over America from within. By rewriting and or ignoring the original intent of the authors of the founding documents of America, a so-called politically correct movement has corrupted the American way by usurping every branch of our government and is turning our constitutional republic of free citizens into a socialist democracy that is subservient to the elitists of globalism. Learn about the misleading metaphor used in this arena and read the actual quotes of the founding fathers in contrast to what modern politicians, activists and justices say about Christianity in the public square.

Backfired

This is a great book for showing how the doctrine and practice of “Tolerance” began in the Colonies of what became the United States of America. In modern thought, tolerance is putting up with somebody or something that is irritating or unpleasant to you. However, as surely as historical revisionists have rewritten American History, the original definition of tolerance has changed too. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary of The English Language defined it as – Allowance of religious opinions and modes of worship in a State when they are different from those of the established church… For example, the Protestant religion might be tolerated in France and the Roman Catholic religion might be tolerated in England. Tolerance did not begin in Saudi Arabia where it still means the death penalty if someone converts from Islam to another religion. Nor did it come out of Communist China or the former atheistic Soviet Union where those who believed differently than the State had to meet in underground groups or be killed or imprisoned. It did not come from Medieval Europe, the Middle East, Africa or the Far East. Tolerance is an American Judeo-Christian contribution to the world. The reason the old definition of tolerance is important is because in the 15-1700’s, what ever the King believed the kingdom had to practice or be persecuted or flee. Many of those who fled came to North America where the concept of toleration began to grow. The first Colonists were Separatists and Puritans from England who did not immediately start to offer toleration to others mainly because they still feared that if others gained power it would rekindle the persecution from which they had fled. More and more pilgrims began to flee the religious persecution of Europe and slowly but surely the Colonists began to realize that if they expected others to tolerate them then they must also tolerate others. The book shows a list of where different denominations had settlements in the Colonies of the 1600’s. In early America, the Puritans began to tolerate other Protestants and Separatists, then Catholics, then any who professed Christianity, then Jews, and in time, all Monotheists, then polytheists and other non-Christian religions, and eventually anti-religionists and atheists. This, of course, all took time but here is the rub. Our tolerance has evolved to where the modern “Politically Correct” crowd has taken control of our government and reversed the role of tolerance. We are at the place now where God, the Bible and Christianity are banned from the public square in America, especially in our public schools. Even worse, people of faith are being forced to legitimatize acts like abortion and immoral lifestyles that are offensive to their conscience or else be branded as “intolerant” and suffer penalty under new laws that pervert the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As the early Pilgrims feared, the government has once again become tyrannical, this time, not by the so-called divine right of the King but in the name of pseudo tolerance. Those who brought tolerance to the world are no longer tolerated. Where did we go wrong? How did this all BACK FIRE on the people of God and the Bible? Those that attack the Bible, public prayer and the display of religious symbols say they are doing it in the name of tolerance but the real question is – Are they not the ones that are being intolerant? Tolerance does not come by lowering our standards or forcing people to approve what is wrong in their heart.

Holy Bible KJV

I've been reading this book yearly for many years and I NEVER get tired of it. I believe it is the inspired word of God. God is real and God has spoken. God does not LIE. God has revealed to us His will in the 66 books of the Bible. All other books, people, lives and things must be judged on the basis of what is said in THIS one book. LJK
